Protect-system
[1/6] from: ptretter::charter::net at: 2-Jun-2001 11:14
Hmmm. I notice that if I do a protect-system and then type desktop in the console that
I can no longer connect to the internet. What word should be unprotected? Seems like
maybe there should be another protect-system that excludes whatever word is preventing
connection to the internet.

Hi Paul
No problem here on Win98. I tried protect-system both in user.r and in the
console prior to the desktop function, both with and without my typical
user.r code. Connecting worked fine in all cases.
Also, when there is a violation of protection, there is an error printed on
the console indicating which protected word was being redefined. The fact
that you did not see this error msg suggests that there was no violatation
of protected words.

Ok. I rechecked and it does indeed not work on my box (win2k pro). Here is
the exact sequence. I have my /View/Pro setup to connect to the internet
when launched and automatically open the desktop. I then click the console
icon and type in the console "protect-system". Now when I type desktop in
the console to go back its shows local in the bottom left corner of the
desktop. When I click on it - it doesnt connect. Anyone else have win2k
and noticed this? This is also /Pro but wouldnt think it would make a
difference.

Hi Paul
Verified, under the sequence you describe below I get the same problem. This
is a bug in the desktop code. You should send the detailed description to
feedback. But you could just put protect-system in your user.r and avoid the
issue.

Larry are you using /Pro or just /View and are you also using win2k? Just
curious.
